About this work

This drawing shows two odd, stick-like figures. One looks like a person with a huge head and long arms, sitting on the ground. The other is a lopsided animal with a long neck and a tail that ends in a hand. The lines are simple but wobbly, like they were drawn fast or with a shaky hand. The whole thing feels light and airy, almost like a sketch. The paper has a grainy texture, and the lines aren’t filled in—just pressed into the surface. If you like this style, look up etching to see how artists make prints like this.
